That's news to me, thanks for telling me; I'll copy paste the answer from the wiki from now on. That will be just as fast for me and hopefully more helpful for people who dont like to read the wiki.

I'm honestly amazed nobody has written a front end GUI to make it easier yet. It's just nasty, I hate it.
I basically just see it as a necessary evil for when I want to edit, or even just read the game's source. And when it comes to entering commands, if I can't figure out how to do it with my notes on commands I've used previously, I usually just ask someone what the command to do that function is, because I find it confusing.

It's just... I'd rate it's user friendliness about a 1 out of 10.
The one useful thing it has going for it is that you can look at the code online... and that's about as useful as just opening a specific file and reading through it, there's absolutely no IDE assisted tools to help you navigate through code, which is kind of important on a project the size of Factorio's source.
